Brendan Rodgers has warned title rivals Manchester City that they face an Everton side packed with “outstanding” players tomorrow.

The Reds championship hopes can be boosted if the Blues take points off third-placed City at Goodison Park.

City are three points behind Liverpool, with a game in hand and with a superior goal difference.

Rodgers, who takes his side to Crystal Palace on Monday, will be watching City's game and rubbished any suggestion that Everton will play a weakened team to deliberately derail the Reds title chances.

“This week has been about putting things into perspective,” Rodgers said.

“We are two points clear with two games to go and that is a wonderful position.

“Manchester City have a really, really tough game against Everton.

“I have read some bits and pieces about Everton not wanting to do Liverpool a favour but Everton, in their own right, are a great club and have done really, really well this season – and in particular at home.

“They are fighting for a Champions League position so they will be playing for themselves. They have some outstanding players and are looking for a result.
